“What we want is for women to become the mothers the Lord has always intended them to be,” said Mommy’s Haven Founder Tracie Moldenhaur. Even without a home of their own, Mommy’s Haven continues to fight for what they believe in.
The organization will offer women, who have no support during and after pregnancy, an alternative to abortion. Mommy’s Haven is in the middle of a fundraising campaign in hopes of purchasing a home in Lake County large enough to house five women and provide office space for staff and volunteers.
“In the past we would find good homes to take the women in,” said Moldenhaur. However, she insists that the organization could contribute more to the pro-life community through their own maternity residence.
Outside of providing the women with shelter, food, clothing, and a supportive community, Mommy’s Haven will offer free services. These services include, but are not limited to, job development and placement, childcare, education about parenting, adoption, and childbirth, knowledge of state programs, and transportation.
The ultimate goal of Mommy’s Haven is to “save the lives of the unborn by changing and restoring families within an atmosphere of hope and healing,” stated Moldenhaur.
Mommy's Haven will welcome women, ages 18 and over, who are pregnant and have nowhere to turn. They will offer these women the opportunity to choose life for their unborn baby. The organization will provide a safe, free-of-charge home to single pregnant women who are feeling helpless and hopeless while facing an unplanned pregnancy.
